Key Market Trends

Paints & Coatings Segment to Dominate the Market Demand

  • Titanium dioxide is the most widely used white pigment material in the paints and coatings industry. It efficiently scatters visible light and thereby imparts whiteness, brightness, and opacity when incorporated into a coating, which makes it widely used in the paints and coatings industry.
  • Globally, of all the titanium dioxide, currently being produced, over 55% finds its application in the paints and coatings industry alone.
  • The paints and coatings industry is experiencing a boom with the rapid growth of the building and construction, and automotive end-user industries.
  • Residential and commercial construction has been increasing significantly across the world, which is further driving the demand for titanium dioxide for construction applications.
  • Asia-Pacific and North American regions have been witnessing strong growth in the residential construction, which is further likely to increase the demand for titanium dioxide for residential applications during the forecast period.
  • Besides, regions like Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa are experiencing huge domestic as well as foreign investments for setting up industrial units, hospitals, malls, multiplexes, hospitality industry, and IT sectors. This is further expected to add noticeably to the demand for titanium dioxide market.
  • Similarly, investments and production in the automotive industry have been increasing in the Asia-Pacific region at a significant rate. Moreover, North America and Europe have been investing significantly in innovation and development, which is likely to increase the production of new vehicles in the coming years.
  • Hence, all such trends in industries, such as construction and automotive, have been increasing the demand for paints and coatings, which is expected to add to the demand for titanium dioxide market.



Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

  • The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market share. With the rising production in industries, such as cosmetics, paints, and coatings, and plastics, the consumption of titanium dioxide is projected to increase noticeably during the forecast period.
  • With growing investments in residential and commercial construction, in countries, such as India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, the market for titanium dioxide is expected to grow in the coming years.
  • China has planned numerous airport construction projects, which are currently either in the planning or development phase. Besides, the Indian government has planned to construct 100 airports by 2032.
  • The Indian government has also planned an investment target of USD 120.5 billion, for developing 27 industrial clusters. This is expected to boost commercial construction in the country.
  • Besides, residential construction is also increasing in countries like India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Singapore.
  • Hence, all these trends in the industries, such as paints and coatings, is projected to drive the demand for titanium dioxide in the paints and coatings market during the forecast period.
  • The Asia-Pacific region is also witnessing strong growth in the demand for cosmetic products, which is majorly driven by the influence of western culture leading to increased usage of cosmetic products by teenagers, increased awareness of being presentable with growing women employment, and hygiene awareness, owing to which the production of such products have also been increasing in the region.
  • Hence, such trends are likely to drive the demand for titanium dioxide in the region during the forecast period.
